And perhaps he had good reason to be nervous. After all, Captain Sandy doesn’t exactly present him with a glowing review during the episode, though she classified her pre-reunion feelings as simply, “Cautiously optimistic.”

Brooke Laughton wasn’t quite jazzed about the gathering either, confessing, “I’m looking forward to getting it out of the way, to be honest.” That’s probably a smart way to look at it, considering her relationship with João Franco, and love triangle if you add Kasey Cohen into the mix, is sure to be a hot topic during the episode.

Surely someone from that boat was feeling excited about the reunion show, right? “I feel great because Jamie and I were the only ones not bitching at each other,” sweet Colin Macy-O’Toole chirped. Jamie Jason echoed his sentiment stating, “I have nothing to hide, so I’m great.”

Elsewhere in the makeup chairs, Kasey said, “I feel pretty good, I’m excited. I really want all the truths to come out.” Oh, and with this group, that’s basically a guarantee.

João, the person with perhaps the most fire aimed in his direction, said he was feeling “pretty confident” heading into the taping, even admitting, “I accept all the criticism I know I’m gonna get.”

Even chief stew Hannah Ferrier was feeling good as she got her hair done before the showdown, saying she felt “a lot better than last year” but is honest about the fact that “there’s definitely a few things to discuss.” Oh, you mean like that drunk shag we all want more details about?
